Daily Yoho Itinerary
► Day 1 – #emeraldlake & #naturalbridge
Our 4th favorite day in Yoho! Emerald Lake is absolutely STUNNINGLY beautiful, and Natural Bridge is a wonderfully awesome rock formation around a waterfall!

► Day 2 – #sherbrookelake & #pagetpeak
Our 3rd favorite day in Yoho! Sherbrooke and Paget were equally awesome and very unique! You will get an incredible mountain view, and a peaceful turquoise lake with a mountain backdrop, it is a win for everyone!

► Day 3 – #takakkawfalls #laughingfalls #twinfalls #celestelake #icelinetrail
Our 2nd longest AND 2nd favorite day! We made a huge loop to see all of these sites in ONE day and it was the BEST choice! Leave early, and get ready for some UNBELIEVABLE waterfalls and views along the Iceline Trail

► Day 4 – #lakeohara #opabinplateau
We saved the best for last, unintentionally. We tried our butts off to get a bus pass for the ride to O’Hara, but ended up having to walk it! And it was SOOO worth it. Opabin Prospect was our absolute favorite view in all of Canada!

Hi, we are Julie & Zach, a couple who sold everything in 2018 and took off an adventure around the world! So far, this journey has taken us in a van ALL ACROSS the United States and Canada, from snorkeling with manatees in Florida to camping in the Grand Canyon to climbing glaciers in Canada, and everything in between! We were both working and going to school while living in Chicago in 2017 and 2018, and to be honest it really wore on us. We were exhausted, unfulfilled, and ready for an adventure. So, we made it happen! We saved up AS MUCH as we could over those 2 years – all homemade meals, no shopping, walk or bike everywhere, etc – and sold almost all of our belongings! With that money, we bought a renovated a van that we have been living in ever since! This is Winnie, the beautiful Volkswagen Eurovan who is the star of the show, unless of course you include our 8 year old chihuahua, Kobe, who has been tagging along like a champ on this entire adventure. He is an adventure dog in every way, except on some hikes he has to be carried in his doggy backpack… We started our YouTube channel a few weeks ago and have been loving creating videos! When we started, we were SO SO SO SO bad at it, and to be honest we still kinda suck, but we want to get better! What videos do you want to see? What do you want to know? Let us know and we will make it happen!

We believe that travel is truly a life-changing experience, it certainly changed ours! When you get out of your everyday world and experience new cultures, foods, places, people, sights, sounds, and take an adventure, you grow as a person and you become a better version of yourself! You are WAY stronger than you know, and stronger than you give yourself credit for. You have the ability to do anything, so make it happen! BE FOREVER FREE!

    Awesome! Very helpful. By the way, which campsite did you mean by right outside Yoho and by the river?

    My home province is so beautiful! Are you guys Canadian too? I just came back from the Rockies and can’t believe I’ve never been my whole life

    Very well done, entertaining AND informative. YouTube must LOVE you! Glad you love Nature's Ultimate Cathedral,i located in the Heart of the Canadian Rockies. It is the Spiritual Experience of a lifetime when blessed to spend a few days there recharging your Soul.
    If you haven't been there yet, Waterton Lakes National Park borders British Columbia, Alberta and Montana, which intersects with U.S. Glacier National Park.
    The view from the precipice of the Prince of Wales Hotel overlooking Waterton Lake is considered by many to be the most spectacular Vista on EARTH! I would love to see you two discover this magnificent place!
    Cheers 🌲🇨🇦🌲🍁🌲🇨🇦🌲
